OLD RuMMIE's GOING AWAY.

Say, neighbors, have you seen old Rummie,
With a scowl upon his face?
met him on the street this morning,
And he's going to leave the place.
He sees the dark clouds DER him gather,
And he fears the coming storm;
So he thinks he'd better pack up his baggage,
For it's getting mighty warm.
CHoRUs-Old Rummie going away,
And the country shall be free;
So, neighbors, come and join in the chorus,
And We'll shout the jubileel
BE swears blue streaks about this couptgYs
And he's awful mad, 1 fear;
But all the same he's going to travel
With his whisky, wine and beer
He knows we hate his cursed business;
For he hears the children's cry.
He says we fools don't know any better
Than to go and vote it dry"
1 tell you, friends, twill just be glorious
For to see old Rummie go
Wen feel as though we'd all emigrated
To little Heaven below
Our darling children shall be happy
And free from the drunkard's snare.
When a school on every hill-top's planted,
And saloons are found nowherer'
When Rummies gone we'll all shout 'glorEp
And well have a jolly time;
The rich and poor will both have plenty,
And Wen bid goodbye to crime.
Policemen will be scarcely needed,
And the tramp shall be no more;
Well turn the Jail to a cotton factory
And the poor-house to a store.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

Prof. George E. Morrow thinks that
an infusion of the blood of the old
woods hog would give vigor of consti-
tuition to the present degenerate race of
swine.
Peanut Candy: Two cups of brown
sugar, half cup of molasses, one and
one-half cups of water, butter size of
an egg, and two cups of peanut meats.
Boil until thick.
If the hair is thin, shingle close
and apply strong warm sage tea every
morning, rubbing well, for about three
weeks; the hair will come in thick in it's
natural color.-BoSton Budget.
Squash Pie: One cup of sifted
squash, one and one-half small-sized
crackers rolled and sifted, or one egg,
two cups of milk, one-half cup of sugar,
salt and spice your taste. The House

Trees certainly vary in the quality
of the sugar they produce. Therefore,
it might pay to save the seed of few
of the finest trees, and plant them. A
little work in improving the maple may
pay in future years.

German Way of Cooking Carrots:
Peel and slice thin, boil until tender;
then drain off water, add butter and
let them simmer while, then turn on
rich milk with flour enough TO make a
gravy. They are nice without the milk

Apple Turnover: Roll out tolerably
thin little piece of light pastry; place
in it large apple of good baking kind,
pared and cored; cover it well with the
paste and secure it firmly; bake in a
temperate oven. -Four of these turn
overs, as they are called, make dish;
they are good either hot or cold.-E1-

On most farms there are places
difficult to cultivate, or alongside the
highway, where sugar naples can be
planted to advantage. In twenty-five
years or less they will yield fine flow
of sap. A row of such trees along the
highway would soon make good posts
for barbed wire fence, and later yield
good sugar Western Rural.

Reversing them, we place the founda-

the greatness of the vast empires over
which you reign as queens? Do you
realize that from your respective do

too, the demagogue, the bloodthirsty
warrior, the scheming politician, the
votary of folly and fashion, the de-
faulter, the murderer, and all the higher
and lower grades of humanity-all at
the same time pass through the cruel

degree the health. or the sickness of
the world may be laid to your charge?
If the infant constitution, mind as well
as body, be duly attended to, the result
will surely be shown in all the
coming years. Give the little ones
plenty of fresh air, wholesome food, all
the exercise their young hearts desire,
with bodies untrammeled by tight bands
or belts. Let every muscle have free,
full play at all times Do not dress your
children so tight that it is relief, like
opening a prison door. to undress them
for the night. We know by early ex-
perience what that is, for we have felt
it, and all through our life have felt its
effects. The cost is far too great, for
the reward which it brings is only
vanity Give the little ones wholesome
food, plenty Oft, and at regular periods.
Disobey these rules, then disease will
be engendered and resort had to all the
poisonous nostrdms of the day, which
serve only to allay the uneasineSs for
the time being, and leave their direful
effects in the tender system, to be mani
tested in some other way in the coming
years Keep the blood pure, not by
lotions. soaps and powder, but by air,
exercise, proper food and drink. Venti

ing. II is astonishing to read what
great difference in the per cent. OF
mortality there is in large cities on
different sides of the same street, owing
entirely to the different degrees of ex
posure to the sun. Let the little ones
think for themselves. Let them ask
ever so many questions. Do not blud
them off in either anger or impatience.
Endeavor early to subdue and correct
every senbiance Of dissimulation, re-
venge, hatred, and passion. Observa-

it that the tender, precious little twigs
have all their faculties bent in the right
direction. -Aotter'S Naga<Ipe.

STYLES IN CIGARS.
A Dealer Says That They Vary Almost
Rapidly as Feminine Fashions.

Dealer Says That They Vary Almost as
Rapidly as Feminine Fashions.
There is nothing man is more fas-
tidious and particular about than his
cigars. In former times the shape was
not thought of at all, and only the color
and appearance of the tobacco were
given consideration. Some smokers
preferred cigars in certain state of
"greenness." Others would smoke only
a speckled cigar. So little attention
was given to the shape that this subject
was &tterly ignored by the manufact-
urers, who bent their entire energies
to making happy combinations of
different grades of tobacco. A few
years ago all shapes were nearly the
the same, the difference being only in
the length. They were of even thick
ness, tapering bluntly at one end. Now,
however, things are different, and a
well-regulated store has in stock dozens
of different shapes. 1t has gone so far
that these fashions and styles in cigars
are watched by some persons as closely
as the styles in their apparel.
A prominent Chestnut street retailer
said: "You seldom see in these days
nice round cigar, because they have the
appearance of having been nodded, and
smokers will not buy them. The most
popular shape at present is thick and
bunchy near the end to be lighted and
tapering gradually toward the butt.
The very latest shape, however, is this
idea carried to the eXtreme-that is,
very thick near the fire end and shaping
to a sharp and long point. There is
medium between these two shapes, and
we have some customers who will not
smoke any other shape. Neither the
retailers nor the manufacturers like to
handle these for many reasons. None
but very experienced man can make
good smoking cigar of this shape, and
even for him it is very slow work. There
is difficulty, too, in packing them. A
great deal of attention is paid to the
shape nowadays, and when particular
brand happens to make good hit it is
made up in all possible shapes and
sizes. "-Phjladelphjd Record.

The Surest Means of Death.

Prof. Alglave, the director of the
International Scientific Series in
France, recently delivered a public
lecture on alcoholism, in which he
stated that, of one hundred insane per-
sons,. forty had been Incorporate; that
fully one-half our criminals had been
in the habit of drinking to excess, and
that delirium tremens kills 1920 per-
sons every year. The reason for the
increase in the death of alcoholic
patients is not that there are a greater
number of victims, but that alcoholic
liquors are much more poisonous than
formerly, owing to their poorer quail
ity and the addition to them of in
ferior alcohol made from rice, pota-
toes, corn, beets, etc. Of 1872, 900
hectoitres of alcohol consumed an
nually, scarcely $4,000 hectolitres are
pure ethylic alcohol made from grapes
and other alcohols are real poisons,
as may easily be shown. To kill an
animal it requires about grammes of
ethylic alcohol per kilogramme of the
animals weight, while of amylic al
cohol it requires only about one
gramme. To produce death in n man
of 80 kilogrammes weight, it would re-
quire 620 grammes of the pure al
cohol, but only SO of the other. AL
coholism is, therefore, produced seven
times sooner with the latter than with
the former.-M Y. Post.

THE HAWAIIAN RACE.
Its Final and Complete Disappearance
ConiidentlalIy Predicted.

Hawaiians would have been socially
better off, it is openly asserted, had no
European ever been permitted to land
upon the shores of the kingdom. As
matters now stand, the race is fast dis
appearing, owing to the introduction
of certain forms of vice heretofore I'M
known among the natives there, while
that hateful disease introduced by for
eigners into these islands indelibly
marks the features of both Kanakas
and Washines alike, fulfilling the text
of the Scriptural assertion that the
sins Of the father will be visited upon
the children, etc
Nevertheless Hawaii, in nearly every
respect, justly deserves the attention it
has been receiving for years at the
hands of citizens of the United States.
The natives are to be encouraged in
their effort to compete with their white
brethren. There are many Kanakas
who lack thrift and who do not possess
the requisite amount of stamina which
is needed to insure success in life, vet
such as these may be instructed to such
a degree us to render them capable
of at least providing for them
selves.
In the American navy are many native
Hawaiians, who, in the experience of the
writer, have always proved to be good
humored, Welding in temper, and, as u
rule, generous to fault. Being in the
main active and intelligent beings, they
make excellent sailors. In like manner

the employment Of native help at fair
wages might result beneficially to not
cnly the capitalist, but would prove of
great advantage TO the Hawaiian pee

MY LOVE-.

Her eyes are like the stars of night,
Her voice like music thrills my heart
Her step upon the stair SO light
Makes all my fervid pulses start.
Her dark brown hair is tinged with gold,
No form but hers has such grace;
She is pleasure to behold,
Like sunlight, cheering every place.
But far above these charms of earth
Is her sweet soul, that from her eyes
Shines where no sin hath ever birth,
A living proof that never dies.
To lofty heights OF wealth and fame
My gentle maid doth not aspire,
Yet when beside some artful dame,
You long for her whose charms ne'er tire
And when you gaze in her bright face,
And note her sweet conflding air,
You'd hardly think that you could trace
brave and steadfast spirit there.
But so you can; and thus I know
That she'll be true in spite of all;
For why? doth not her whole life show
A priceless love that naught can pallH

TAXES REFUNDED BIZ THE STATE.
County Treasurer Loftin Wants Fees for Col
Letting Them as Delinquencies.

In the course of year. the refunding of taxes
by the county commissioners reach no insig-
nifcant sum. Such cases come to their atten-
ton sometimes after tax payments have been
enormously made for a number of years. The
money having gone into the treasury is utilized
for county purposes, while the States proper
ton is paid over to her Treasurer. The tax
payer in obtaining his refunder, carries his war
rant therefor to the county treasurer, who pays
over the full amount allowed by the commits
sioners, including the portion that has been
paid to the State. This necessitates a return
from the State to the county of the amount for
which it was liable on the refunding warrant.
When the State settled with the county for re-
funders, treasurers for years past have charged
for collecting them. Treasurer Loftin has a
controversy with the commissioners this
question. He wants the collection fee for OBJ
tanning this money from the State, but the COM
missoners say the county will thereby make
a double payment for collection, first when the
tax payers paid the money in. and next when
the treasurer collected the States Indebtedness
on the refunder. The treasurer regards the
latter as he would a collection of delinquent
taxes while the commissioners say it is only
retention. hence he is not entitled to fees for
that service. The Attorney general and county
attorney are consulting over the matter.
